Detroit News, Free Press Change Owners

Would be interesting to see the effect on online operations of these newspapers involved..who would you say is more online savvy: Gannett or Knight Ridder?

Anyway, the news: Gannett is buying the Detroit Free Press from Knight Ridder and MediaNews Group will take ownership of The Detroit News from Gannett.

Gannett and Knight Ridder also announced an exchange of newspapers in Florida, Washington and Idaho. Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
